Title: Process for thermophilic, aerobic fermentation of organic waste by rapidly heating an aquoeus mixture containing the organic waste and without inoculation by thermophilic microorganisms
Inventor: BRANCONNIER RENE JOSEPH
IPC: C05F17/00
Filed: 1997-08-20
Abstract: A process for conversion of organic waste to an end product by thermophilic, aerobic fermentation of the waste matter by thermophilic microorganisms naturally occurring in the waste matter is claimed. The fermentation process is initiated by application of external heat to an uninoculated aqueous mixture of the waste material and then oxygenating the mixture and thus utilizes thermophilic microorganisms naturally present in the waste material to initiate the fermentation. The process converts waste matter such as food waste and fecal matter into a protein enriched end product suitable for use as an animal feed, feed supplement or fertilizer, fertilizer ingredient, soil amendment or soil conditioner free of pathogens, biological contaminants and chemical contaminants such as antibiotics.

Title: Gross pollution filter
Inventor: ROY SCOTT WADE
IPC: B01D29/05
Filed: 1997-10-23
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/AU97/00710 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 22, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 22, 1999 PCT Filed Oct. 23, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO98/17875 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 30, 1998A water filter arrangement (10) for trapping gross pollutants flowing in a storm water system is provided in-line or at end-of-line of a storm water pipe. The arrangement comprises an inlet (14) and an inlet area (18) which directs incoming water (16) into a filter (20). The filter traps entrained gross pollutants and filtered water exits the filter via filter outlet (50). The outlet (50) and surrounding walls (58 and 57) are shaped to create a flow of filtered water which forms a water barrier which restrains the flow of water and gross pollutants from the inlet (14) to the outlet (52). The water barrier is located between the inlet (14) and the outlet (52) preferably closer to the outlet than the inlet. As the filter (20) becomes full and the flow of filtered water exiting the filter decreases the water barrier subsides. When the filter is completely blocked, the water barrier completely subsides and the incoming water and gross pollutants by-pass the filter (20) and flow unrestrained without head loss from the inlet (14) to the outlet (52).

Title: Transmission timing of call and control packets from node of packet switching network
Inventor: HIPPELAINEN LEO
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1998-05-12
Abstract: To reduce the maximum delays and the variation in the transmission times of call packets, control packets that contain signaling information on the data transmission network are separated from the call packets in the network node, information on the arrival rate of the call packets is maintained, the duration of the control packet that is to be sent next is calculated (22), and the interval to the reception of the next call packet is defined (23).  The calculated duration is compared (24) with the defined interval, and if the duration is shorter than or equal to the interval, the control packet is transmitted immediately (25). If the duration is longer than the interval, the control packet is put (27) in a transmission queue, and transmitted immediately after the call packet is received.

Abstract: A damper for reducing the track nose emitted by a rail system comprises a deformable material (18) attachable to a surface of the rail, incorporating a plurality of elongate discontinuous resonant members (22,24) of a stiff material as compared to the deformable material (18), sized to contain at least two resonant frequencies in the range of interest.  The resonant members (22,24) are suitably of steel or other metallic material.  They can be of different profile, to form a resonant system with at least two resonant frequencies in the relevant frequency range. They are suitably embedded in the deformable material (18), to ensure adequate vibrational transfer from the rail to the resonant members (22,24) and also provide environmental protection.  The deformable member is visco-elastic, for example rubber or rubber-like material. This may be preformed and glued to the rail, or it can be cured in place on the rail. The damper is positioned on the rail at the junction between the web (14) and the foot (16) of the rail. One resonant member can be an elongate angled section, the angle preferably matching the angle between external surfaces of the web (14) and foot (16).  Another resonant member can be a solid elongate block, the external faces adjacent the web (14) and foot (16) being angled to match.

Title: Inflatable support
Inventor: CHAPMAN PAUL WILLIAM
IPC: A61H7/00
Filed: 2002-03-15
Abstract: A pressure pad (1) has two sets of cells (11, 12), fluid supply lines (14), a pump (6) to inflate the cells, a sensor pad (8) beneath the pressure pad, and a supply line to an exhaust through the sensor. Change in patient position/weight causes flow in tube (10) to alter differential pressure measured by a pressure transducer (16). Control means (50) controls the output of the pump to increase/decrease the supply of fluid to the cells depending upon the rate of fluid exhaust at the sensor exit. This is achieved by microprocessor control of power delivered to the pump (6) by varying the pulse wave modulation to the compressor(s) (C1, C2), thus adjusting the airflow to the cells. The pressure pad is segmented into heel, upper leg, torso and head sections, with the torso section being maintained at a higher pressure than the other sections. The pressure pad is an alternating or static pad.

Title: Skylight with selective light transmittance
Inventor: CUTTLE CHRISTOPHER
IPC: F24J2/40
Filed: 2004-04-06
Abstract: Apparatus that may be used as a skylight or window for allowing natural light to enter a building has light impeding regions ( 104 ) arranged in a planar configuration above one or more other light impeding regions ( 100 ) arranged in a lower plane so that the regions are spaced apart.
